Chapter 1130 You're a Good Person

Hannah didn't go straight to her room. She went to the lobby to replace a first aid kit.

"Ms Cooper,"

She suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her. Hannah was startled. Who could still be in the lobby at this hour? She quickly turned around and saw Max carrying his luggage. Hannah had been surprised earlier when she didn't see Max during her visit to Oscar's house. It seemed like he had gone on a trip.

"Is it Ms Cooper?" Max asked again when he didn't get a response from Hannah.

"Yes, it's me, Max. I'm Hannah." She smiled slightly.

"Ms Cooper!" Max became excited all over, his eyes even turning red with emotion. "When Master called me earlier and said that you were back, I couldn't believe it! But here you are! Even though you look different now, I know that it's you!"

Hannah nodded, feeling emotional herself now too. Facing Max at this moment brought back memories of how he had taken care of her when they lived under the same roof before. Although she knew that Max was following Oscar's orders back then, she would never forget how good he had been to her then, just like how Salem was being treated well by him now too.

"I thought maybe... you..." Max choked up and couldn't continue speaking for a moment. After a while, he held himself together again and said, "It's good to see you back safe and sound."

At this point, Hannah found herself unable to express just how grateful she felt towards him inside. She wasn't sure what words would be enough for such an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Max. "Oh right, does Salem know who you are?" Max asked.

"He knows."

"Salem must be very happy about it. He always wanted a mother."

"I owe him so much..."

"If not for Master..." Max hesitated briefly before continuing. "Young Master knows your struggles, and he is such an understanding child. He won't blame you."

"Thank you for taking care of Salem so well, Max."

"I'm only taking care of his daily needs. Master Oscar takes charge of most things related to Salem's education. His concern towards Salem isn't any less than mine. He just wants Salem to grow up independent."

"I know," Hannah nodded. She was used to hearing praises about Oscar from Max anytime anywhere.

"Ms Cooper, what happened to your forehead?" Max noticed the injury there.

"It was an accident."

"Let me help treat it."

"Okay, thank you." Hannah didn't want to trouble Max, but she felt that if she rejected him now, he might get hurt.

Max quickly put down his luggage and skillfully picked up the nearby medicine box to carefully apply medicine to Hannah's wound.

"Where have you been these past few days, Max?" Hannah chatted casually.

She was surprised that Max would "run away from home". She always thought that Max would tire himself out by Oscar's side and leave no one qualified enough to serve him or take care of Oscar's household.

"Oh," Max blushed a little.

"Don't tell me you're in love?" Hannah teased him.

Max blushed even more.

"I guessed right?" Even Hannah scared herself with how accurate her guess was.

Wasn't Max almost 50 years old? A late-life romance at this point?

She never thought that Max would still be able to start a family at this age.

"Who is it? Where is she? Didn't come back with you?" Hannah asked curiously.

"I often take Salem to school, she's the principal of Salem's school..." It seemed like Max wanted to tell her but couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.

"The principal?" Hannah laughed brightly.

Max explained quickly, "Although she is the principal, I think she just turned 40 and doesn't look old at all. Although divorced with a son, her son likes me... I didn't say anything."

Max made her laugh uncontrollably-he was so serious about everything. At this moment, even Hannah couldn't help but envy whoever had captured Max's heart; no matter how old they were in the future or what their personality was like-they were sure going be treated like royalty by someone as caring as him.

"I'm afraid you guys might not approve of her." Muttered Max softly

"How could we not approve? Anyone who catches your eye must be a good lady." Hannah gave great affirmation, "So did you go on vacation with your girlfriend these past few days?"

"Not exactly... Kailey isn't local."

So her name was Kailey.

"We went back to visit her hometown and meet her parents along the way." Hannah laughed again when she heard this part. Just thinking about how someone as mature as Max still had to meet his girlfriend's parents made her laugh uncontrollably.

"Are they satisfied with you?"

"Yes," replied Max happily.

"So are you talking about marriage?"

"We are planning for next month's wedding registration." Said max excitedly, "I haven't told Master Oscar yet. I don't know if he will agree."

"Why wouldn't he agree?"Hannah felt that Max was overthinking things again.

"But..."

"Don't worry about it," Hannah dismissed his words. "Even though it might hurt to say, I feel like your dependence on Oscar runs deeper than his on you. So go ahead and pursue your happiness, he's a grown man who can take care of himself."

Max was hurt by her words, but also secretly pleased at the thought of his upcoming wedding. Such conflicting feelings were new to him and he realized that this was what love felt like.

"Is everything taken care of?" Hannah asked as she watched Max retract his hand.

"Yes, Ms Cooper. Just be careful not to get infected by the water and I'll change your bandages tomorrow."

"Got it. Oscar has been shot in the arm, so if you're not too tired, please check up on him and see how he's doing."

"Okay," Max quickly agreed.

"Well then, I'm heading back to my room now. Get some rest soon, Max."

"Ms Cooper... you're back together with...?"

"No way! I just needed a place to stay!"

Max wanted to say more but Hannah had already turned around and left. As soon as she got back to her room though, she saw Oscar waiting for her at the door. He must have known that she wasn't in her room so he waited outside instead.

"Did Max help you with your bandages?" Oscar asked.

So he did see them together in the living room earlier but chose not to interrupt them.

"Yeah, he said that he's getting married soon, so he wants your wishes." Replied Hannah.

"He said that?" Oscar asked and raised an eyebrow.

"I guessed as much."

Oscar couldn't help but laugh as Hannah started joking around with him again.

"Max is a good person," Hannah stated seriously before turning around and walking into her room without another word.

"You're a good person too," Oscar muttered towards her retreating figure before realizing that he had just been shut out by the closing door.
